A stellar note from Amy on using our materials. Thank you Amy!

"I really love R&F products and I have been using R&F paints and Pigment Sticks® for years. I find the quality of their paints to be superior. The colors are so saturated and incredibly beautiful. I especially love the cadmium colors. I think my favorites are the Green Gold, Turquoise Blue, and Cadmium Green Pale but honestly they are all great. I always use Burnt Umber and Graphite Grey Pigment Sticks® when I incise into my paintings. Nothing comes close to the texture and consistency of R&F Pigment Sticks®. It is like going into the candy store when buying these products!"
